That was a good price. It isn't really a white house phone.
I don't know if the white house phones came in any colors other than black.
The white house dial centers are the white house in blue. The white house phones don't use ext. #'s on their dial centers either.

Very nice, and similar to my 1955 Avacado Green phone in need of restoration. I'd like to see when its restored!
